I don't think it's at all wrong to highlight this as a problem area (though certainly no gender identity has a monopoly on loneliness, which is a global human problem - just different expressions of it), unfortunately young men (in north america at least) who are forming social bonds with other men are doing so mostly in the worst online spaces imaginable on a diet of shooters, sports betting and pr0n with zero IRL community engagement or involvement. until or unless there's a major prevailing counter-force soon the "epidemic" is not going to improve.
People say the situation won't improve but if the chuds just keep digging the whole deeper and becoming more repulsive they're eventually just going to complete isolated themselves and be a cautionary tale to the next generation.
I really don't see a situation where a bunch of women just say "fine I'll accept that he's a literal nazi who thinks showering is gay and I'll wait on him hand and foot for the chance to pick his up shaved nuts acknowledge between rounds of call of duty."
The nazis really don't have the leverage they think they do short of literal state mandated girlfriends.
And if that happens were just going to see a massive uptick in "accidental" poisoning just like in the good old days.
